Connor would be a whipping boy if he wasn't a loudmouth whiner.Don't get me wrong, Connor isn't good and I'm totally loving Connor getting trashed on twitter but the reality is, his minutes are more about the other bench guys than him. They have severe deficits as a team in the front court. At times, they have had Connor playing the 4, more or less because the two young bigs and Sandfort are an even bigger liability. It doesn't justify all of is minutes but I think the discussion should be more about how the roster is put together.
They are a big 10 team with a decent recent history, they could have attracted guys in the portal but didn't even really try. They are ok this year, give them a legit p6 big and it's a totally different team, in the tourney for sure. I feel like the Connor is the whipping boy for Fran's failure to catch up with the times and the fact that his seat is so comfy he doesn't have to worry. He's taking the beating for his father and Barta.
